CVE-2026-64365 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: HID: letsketch: fix UAF on inrange_timer at driver unbind letsketch_driver does not provide a .remove callback, but letsketch_probe() arms a per-device timer: timer_setup(&data->inrange_timer, letsketch_inrange_timeout, 0); The timer is re-armed from letsketch_raw_event() with a 100 ms timeout on every pen-in-range report, and its callback dereferences data->input_tablet to deliver a synthetic BTN_TOOL_PEN release. letsketch_data is allocated with devm_kzalloc(), and its input_dev fields are devm-allocated via letsketch_setup_input_tablet(). On device unbind (USB unplug or rmmod), the HID core runs its default teardown and devm cleanup frees both letsketch_data and the input devices. Because no .remove callback exists, nothing drains the timer first: if raw_event armed it within ~100 ms of the unbind, the pending timer fires on freed memory. This is a UAF read of data and of data->input_tablet, followed by input_report_key() / input_sync() into the freed input_dev. The same problem can occur on the probe error path: if hid_hw_start() enabled I/O on an always-poll-quirk device and then failed, raw_event may have armed the timer before devm releases data. Fix by adding a .remove callback that calls hid_hw_stop() first. hid_hw_stop() synchronously kills the URBs that deliver raw_event(), so once it returns no path can re-arm the timer. timer_shutdown_sync() then drains any in-flight callback and permanently disables further mod_timer() calls. Apply the same timer_shutdown_sync() in the probe error path so the timer is guaranteed not to outlive data.
A use-after-free vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel's HID Letsketch driver. This issue arises because the driver does not implement a .remove callback, which is crucial for properly managing device unbinding. When the device is unplugged or the module is removed, the default cleanup process frees the memory allocated for the driver data and input devices. However, if the unbinding occurs shortly after a pen-in-range report, the driver's timer can trigger a callback that accesses this freed memory, leading to a use-after-free condition. This vulnerability can also be exploited if the probe process encounters an error, as the timer may be armed before the driver data is released.
The vulnerability has been fixed by adding a .remove callback to the driver that properly stops the timer and releases any pending callbacks before the driver data is freed. This change ensures that the timer does not access invalid memory after the device has been unbound.
